Ger- man democrats, now sojourning in Switzerland, for their health's sake, make this fact abundantly plain. The writings of such men as Prince Licknowsky, the last German am- bassador to Great Britain, and of Dr. Frank Bohn, a once mighty fig- ure in German industrialism, leave no room for doubt. Dr. Bohn's con- clusions should be widely read and pondered in the 'Allded countries. Among other things he says: "Place absolutely no hope in any party or any class within Germany.
